Best value:
Excellent
Rackable 1 preamp unit.
DIY ("do-it yourself")
Analog. class A
Transistor
The mic preamp is a replica of the legendary 1073 Mr. R. Neve.
comprises:
micro level preamp / or line level (2 separate 2 XLR inputs on the back) + a walkout EQ section
XLR balanced output (rear)
UTILIZATION
ultra clear pattern to use, no need to book.
Colour Book Manufacturing ... very very accurate!
PCB and sorted (!) And marked with AML, the English supplier components. For £ 365 we get the KIT mounting Colour downloadable Book ...
Approximately 10 hours of editing (soudures. ..)
get rack and buttons (not supplied with the kit ...) housing; Red Marconi for the purists ... This increases the price.
To achieve, this is like mechanical! (For which the concepts of electronics, good soldering iron ... etc), then calibrate the bias and 48V (calibration so ..) and enjoy the result ...
SOUND QUALITY
sublime
comparable to the 1073 original, and this is new!
the sound quality is the rendezvous for components such as transformers symmetrical Carnhill (for input MICRO VTB9045 classic / classic VTB9046 for Line input) and output transformer Carnhill also 3 inducers class A lead sound so distinctive, who made his "classic Neve"
48V Phantom power supply and phase reversal switches on.
an equation with absolute precision when normal wound inductors are used instead of a girateurs OP amp, not a hair of breath and therefore effective corrections, respectful of the processed signal ...
Low Cut-a relentless: 50Hz, 80Hz, 160Hz and 300Hz to -18dB/octave
-HF (12kHz): + / - 16dB of gain
-MF (switchable: 360Hz, 700Hz, 1.6 kHz, 3.2 kHz, 4.8 kHz and 7.2 kHz) + / - 16dB of gain
-LF (switchable: 35Hz, 60Hz, 110Hz and 220Hz) + / - 16dB of gain
switchabble impedance input: 300/1200 Ohms
a TRIM output to refine the level.
OVERALL OPINION
one visible LED front: powering.
not lead to peak, it is unfortunate but achievable ...
short, a very good price / quality ratio
I have a pair, and two other manufactures ...
